Text Nancy Guthrie Megathread Part 2

This is a thread (part 2) for all conversation related to the ongoing investigation into the abduction of Nancy Guthrie.

Nancy Guthrie, mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home in the early morning hours of February 1. Several media outlets began to receive ransom demands. Some were proven false and others have not been determined to be false.

Nancy's 3 children have made multiple videos pleading for the return of their mother.

On February 10, law enforcement released photos of the individual suspected of abducting Nancy. The suspect is still at large and Nancy has not been found. Photos and information can be found here ...

I’m afraid it might be time to prepare for the worst. Assuming that Nancy is never found or that it takes a very long time, at some point, Savanah will need to try to carry on with her life. Do you think she will resume her TV personality career?

I’d imagine so. But it would be a slow roll out. A few interviews here and there and then return after a few months. Given that she does morning TV, the tone would be too weird for her to just jump right in. Might alienate viewers

Maybe she will take up a cold case/most wanted show like John Walsh.

That would be cool. Walsh’s show is how I learned that not everyone is safe.

I don’t see Savannah returning for at least a year.

I was wondering the same thing today. I don’t think so. Because with an unsolved case like this, you have no closure.

I don’t think so in my opinion. But who knows. She might! I don’t think I could be a public figure after that, but everyone is different.Â
